well, there is the actual foreign policy piece, then there's the partisan ranker. maggie, before this began, we were looking at hillary clinton's approval ratings. 67% favorable, 26% unfavorable, 6% no opinion. we don't know if she's running for office in 2016, right? but certainly, some of this criticism, some of this questioning, is perhaps directing at poking some holes in the clintonian armor, if you will. >> perhaps. i would go there. no, i think that's absolutely right. i think the issue about benghazi, when it initially began, was a way at getting at obama through hillary clinton, right, during the campaign, but it then evolved into something else that was about her for exactly that purpose. if the idea today was to ding her up memorably going into 2016, i don't think that was accomplished. rand paul did what he was supposed to do, it will make his base happy. it will not sway any votes. if i saw correctly, 37% of republicans approve of her. for her, that is not terrible. i mean, she has always been a pretty polarizing figure. she is leaving state department

the face and chief executor of the president's foreign policy. north korea is one that has been on the list for some time and perhaps will step up a little bit in terms of urgency but we've been down this road before with north korea. you sit down to play poker with them and all they got to play is one card. the escalation card trying to churning is where they get something in return either from southsouth korea china occasionally from the united states. the president has made clear that as former secretary of defense bob gates said, we're not going to buy this horse more than once. ultimately the north korean leadership understands perfectly should they ultimately threaten the united states in a meaningful way we have the potential to seriously harm them and so they are crazy but they're not stupid. so we've seen this churn before. we just have to be patient. work with our allies, and try to use whatever leverage we can with china which doesn't want to see an escalation on the korean peninsula either. >> jennifer: yes, i would be a bit concerned
